Filed under: Journalism, Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, Donna Shalala

shalala.jpgOne of the big stories this weekend was that The Des Moines Register’s endorsed Hillary Clinton for president. The endorsement was a coup for Clinton, but now some GOP political insiders are telling Big Head DC that the newspaper hasn’t gone far enough to disclose its ties to the Clinton camp. The paper, they note, is owned by Gannett Company, Inc — and Donna Shalala, former U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services, who was appointed and served under Bill Clinton throughout his presidency, sits on the Gannett board. The implication is that Shalala somehow influenced the endorsement. Evidence of that claim hasn’t turned up yet.

    Gannett, known for its anti-American agenda, is supporting the anti-American candidate, Hillary (not Rodham) Clinton, for President.

    This is not news. This is expected.

    Thank you for your time.

    If you read the endorsement, particularly the line that in effect concedes that Obama would make just as good a president, you realize how much behind the scenes arm twisting must have gone on to get Hillary’s name on top. It’s a non-committal, dispassionate endorsement that seems to say, “Look, we know she’s done in Iowa but please don’t hold it against us.”

    On OpenSecrets.org, you can view her current contributions to the Clinton campaign. Ms. Shalala is also an employee of the University of Miami - the president of the school.
    Here are a record of her contributions to Hillary Clinton’s campaign:
